The multi-award-winning Tamarind Restaurant serves modern Asian cuisine, including dishes like koji-marinated beef tataki and Moreton Bay bugs with Taiwanese barbecue sauce, paired with local and imported beer and wine. Guests can relax at Spa Anise with massages, explore Gardners Falls (0.5 km away), or join cooking classes at the retreat's school. The property also features a swimming pool with a heated spa, outdoor fire pits, and easy access to Maleny village (3.2 km) and Sunshine Coast beaches (40 minutes' drive).
